In: <em>Politika. Tidsskrift for politisk videnskab 51:4<\/em> (2019), 401\u2013422.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With his article Rasmus Gjedss\u00f8 Bertelsen states that \u00ab<em>historisk l\u00e6ring<\/em>\u00bb, history-based learning based upon experiences by the <em>1918-forbundsloven<\/em> between Denmark and Iceland, should be used to help the Faroe Islands and Greenland become independent states. In his opinion, history-based learning is useful for future relations between Denmark, the Faroe Islands and Greenland to structure shared strategic analyses, discussions and decisions (401).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gjedss\u00f8 Bertelsen portrays the parallels between the three insular Scandinavian countries Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands well. For instance, he shows that in each of the three countries national liberalism emerged among students (in Iceland in the 1830s and 1840s, in the Faroe Islands in the<span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"> <\/span>late 19<sup>th<\/sup> century and in Greenland in the 1960s and 1970s) and that all<span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"> <\/span>three nations, after the collapse of the European safety system in the 1930s, were under foreign control either by Great Britain (Faroe Islands 12<sup>th<\/sup> April 1940) or America (Greenland 9<sup>th<\/sup> April 1941 and Iceland 7<sup>th<\/sup> July 1941) (413 and 411). By illustrating these similarities between the countries Gjedss\u00f8 Bertelsen makes it clear that Iceland\u2019s way to independency could function well as a role model for both Greenland and the Faroe Islands. However, he also demonstrates that in Greenland there is a lack of consciousness regarding Iceland\u2019s history with Denmark because Greenland\u2019s access to the Icelandic Faroese language and cultural community is restricted (406). Therefore, Greenland showed interest for the <em>free association<\/em> model, which is used among the Cook Islands and New Zealand (410). Gjedss\u00f8 Bertelsen rightly criticizes that Denmark and the North Atlantic do not have experiences with this type of model and advises that it should made use of the well-documented experiences of the <em>1918-forbundsloven<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, Rasmus Gjedss\u00f8 Bertelsen\u2019s article demonstrates the historical and political relations between Denmark and the North Atlantic very comeprehensibly and lays open the difficulties of <em>Rigsf\u00e6lleskab<\/em>. <em>Nordatlanten<\/em>, as he depicts, is of great importance for Denmark \u2013 98 per cent of the Danish state&#8217;s land and sea area are located in <em>Nordatlanten<\/em> and the Arctic \u2013 but this comes with the disadvantage that Denmark continuously has to balance between European and North Atlantic interests (404f.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, Gjedss\u00f8 Bertelsen illustrates the <em>three inner conditions<\/em> for the North Atlantic independence \u2013 political will, human capital and fiscal independence. Primarily, he indicates well which problems Greenland and the Faroe Islands must face in comparison to Iceland fulfilling these <em>three inner conditions<\/em> (408f.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If one wants to criticise something about Rasmus Gjedss\u00f8 Bertelsen\u2018s article, it would be that from the beginning on it has its focus noticeably on the relation between Greenland and Denmark which may be related to the circumstance that Greenland\u2019s way to autonomy faces more critical doubt than the one of the Faroes Islands does.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With his article Rasmus Gjedss\u00f8 Bertelsen states that \u00abhistorisk l\u00e6ring\u00bb history-based learning based upon experiences by the 1918-forbundsloven between Denmark and Iceland should be used to help the Faroe Islands and Greenland becoming independent states.
